Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1558 - 351. Money-loving Woman (One More Update)

Seeing the two of them showing affection without any concern, Su Tianrui rolled his eyes and turned away.

But his mind was already scheming; going to the Dongling Sea must be fun, I hear there’s a lot of delicious food in the sea, I must try it.

Sneakily glancing at Xia Zheng, Su Tianrui decided to keep a close eye on Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan at all times; he wants to be a qualified Little Tail!

Seeing the way Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng doted on each other, He Lianuo couldn’t help but shiver; he isn’t even married yet!

"Hey hey, let’s talk business, talk business!"

Extremely dissatisfied, He Lianuo knocked on the table aggressively, interrupting the two who were being lovey-dovey.

Lin Yuan coughed twice and immediately straightened her posture.

Xia Zheng gave He Lianuo a sidelong glare, deciding to increase the price of the invitation tenfold later!

"Then let’s talk business."

Lin Yuan cleared her throat, smoothed her hair, and asked, "May I ask, Crown Prince Helian, what brings you to my Dong Tian today? Don’t tell me it’s for a meal, I remember, you never dine in elegant rooms."

Cough, cough!

Water stuck in his throat making He Lianuo gasp for air. This damn woman, she’s just like Xia Zheng, always poking where it hurts!

Su Tianrui also couldn’t help but snigger unscrupulously, remembering how Xia Zheng laughed at this guy for being as timid as a mouse when he showed up at the door! freёwebnoѵel.com

"Let’s talk business!"

Finally swallowing the saliva stuck in his throat, He Lianuo hurriedly shifted away from the elegant room topic, bluntly asking: "I know you have a competition with Drunken Immortal Tower in a few days, is that last invitation in your hands? Name your price!"

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, her heart blossoming with joy. She knew he came for this.

But Su Tianrui was dumbfounded; how on earth did this guy know the last invitation was in Xia Zheng’s hands?

He knew because he had grown up with Xia Zheng and knew Xia Zheng’s tricky nature. But this guy? Could it be...

They also grew up together as close brothers?

Su Tianrui widened his eyes, the thought just popped up and was immediately forced back by him hitting his own head; he must have been too shocked today, it’s absurd to think that He Lianuo grew up with Xia Zheng!

Xia Zheng, however, didn’t ask how this guy knew the last invitation was in his own hands. If a Crown Prince couldn’t even find out this much, it would be too disappointing for his reputation as the Xiliang fox.

Curling his fingers and tapping on the table, Xia Zheng, lifting his eyebrows nonchalantly said, "This last invitation, naturally, cannot be too cheap. Especially since the holder of this invitation is the Crown Prince of Xiliang, it should definitely be more expensive. This way, it reflects the Crown Prince’s distinguished and extraordinary temperament!"

Even though he had only interacted with Xia Zheng a few times, He Lianuo had already figured out Xia Zheng’s temperament. The nicer Xia Zheng spoke, the darker and worse his thoughts!

Before He Lianuo could speak, Su Tianrui hurriedly intercepted him, anxiously telling Xia Zheng, "Xia Zheng! We are life-and-death friends, friends that wore the same pants growing up! And you’re selling our friendship to someone else for just a few hundred taels of silver? Xia Zheng, you’ve really disappointed me!"

Disappointed?

At this moment, Xia Zheng really wanted to slap him into the table, wondering who is really disappointed!

"Get away!"

Xia Zheng glared at him, a light flickering in his eyes: "A few hundred taels of silver? How can the status of Crown Prince Helian be measured by a few hundred taels of silver? This invitation is a priceless treasure; it cannot be measured with silver! Not to mention you, even if Little White Rabbit comes, I couldn’t give it to Little White Rabbit over Crown Prince Helian!"

"You, you, you!"

Su Tianrui, heartbroken, pointed at Xia Zheng, his eyes suddenly reddening, a grown man almost breaking into tears: "I must have been blind to have befriended a money grubber like you! We’re done, we’re done!"

Xia Zheng raised an eyebrow, "If that’s what you prefer, please be my guest!"

Listening to Xia Zheng’s indifferent words, Su Tianrui really felt like dying. He stood up and sat down repeatedly several times before finally slumping into his chair, staring fiercely at He Lianuo, the words he spoke almost turning into knives stabbing at that annoying face.

"I’m not going anywhere! I want to watch Xia Zheng fleece you good and hard!"

He Lianuo’s lips twitched, but he still raised an eyebrow, not taking his threat seriously at all. It’s just an invitation, could it really be worth a fortune?

"Second Young Master Xia, name your price. How much?"

Xia Zheng smirked, tapping on the table: "Tsk tsk, Helian, you see, for the sake of earning your silver, this young master doesn’t even care about brotherhood s. Crown Prince Helian, you should pay a bit more, right?"

Although He Lianuo wasn’t the type to throw money around like dirt, he was also someone who didn’t care about money in his pursuit of refinement, and he immediately nodded: "One thousand taels of silver, how about that?"

One thousand taels of silver?

Su Tianrui’s eyes widened, silently clicking his tongue.

Indeed, selling an invitation for one thousand taels of silver is a big win, yet Xia Zheng is not satisfied at all.

With a couple of tsk-tsks, Xia Zheng looked at He Lianuo with some surprise and regret, shaking his head repeatedly, "So in the heart of Crown Prince Helian, your status is only worth a mere one thousand taels of silver? Ah, that’s too cheap!"

"Isn’t that so?"

Right now, Lin Yuan also faithfully took on the role of a supportive wife. "I remember yesterday’s invitation was sold for five hundred taels of silver. That gentleman was just a wealthy landlord from the outskirts of the city, to think that Crown Prince Helian is only worth two landlords."

Pfft!

Su Tianrui couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out. Comparing a nation’s crown prince to a landlord from the outskirts, such words could only come from Lin Yuan’s mouth.

Was she not afraid of infuriating He Lianuo and having him slap her to death?

However, Su Tianrui didn’t believe that He Lianuo would dare to do that, after all, Xia Zheng was here!

Plus, considering the rumors about Lin Yuan’s fierce personality, Su Tianrui was even more convinced that even without Xia Zheng, Lin Yuan would not be at a disadvantage with He Lianuo.

Indeed, He Lianuo didn’t get angry but instead chuckled at himself, "Second Young Master Xia, your taste is indeed unique, even the woman you choose is different from others. Tsk tsk, fortunately, our Xiliang’s women aren’t gold diggers like her..."

He paused, thinking about someone, then suddenly started coughing dryly and added, "Mostly, mostly aren’t like her that much."

So that means there are gold diggers too!

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, not delving into who that gold-digging woman was, but more concerned about how high this fellow could raise the price.

"Although my wife doesn’t speak pleasantly, her logic is solid. This young master also thinks that the identity of Crown Prince Helian is worth more than just one thousand taels of silver. Moreover..."

Xia Zheng lifted the invitation in his hand, enticingly saying, "No. 1 of Tianzi, this invitation’s location is the best one inside the spectator area, guaranteeing that you can clearly see the competition process and taste the first serving of delicious food!"

With so many tempting conditions laid out before him, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t tempted.

He Lianuo slightly narrowed his eyes. It’s only two thousand taels of silver after all; he has plenty of silver. Compared to silver, he would rather try the culinary skills of Drunken Immortal Tower and Dong Tian, which have stood in the Capital for decades.

"Two thousand taels of silver!"

The price suddenly doubled. Su Tianrui’s mouth hung open even wider.

Xia Zheng curved the corner of his lips, lifted the invitation in his hand, and handed it over to He Lianuo, "Agreed!"

Money exchanged hands and the invitation was secured, He Lianuo immediately pulled a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and placed them in front of Xia Zheng.

Today, the one with him was a tall person, not as quick-witted as a shorter one, so He Lianuo did not entrust the silver notes to him but kept them on himself.

Counting those silver notes, bright sparks appeared in Lin Yuan’s eyes. An invitation that originally cost two taels of silver was now sold for two thousand taels of silver—this was simply picking up silver!

Watching Lin Yuan’s unsophisticated demeanor, Su Tianrui and He Lianuo disdainfully rolled their eyes.

However, Xia Zheng was cradling his chin, watching Lin Yuan with a joyful smile.

It turns out, the greatest happiness in life isn’t earning lots and lots of silver but watching the woman you like counting silver!

"Three days left, alright, this Crown Prince will look forward to tasting your culinary skills in three days."

He Lianuo tapped the invitation in the palm of his other hand, squinting at Lin Yuan, "I hope your skills are worth these two thousand taels of silver. However, tsk tsk, the food from Dong Tian really isn’t very good, I hope you as the Boss won’t disappoint me too much."

Speaking of which, He Lianuo was the first person to say Dong Tian’s food wasn’t tasty.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, her counting of the silver notes paused, and she glanced at him with narrowed eyes, a beautiful curve forming on her red lips: "I guarantee not to disappoint Crown Prince Helian."

"That’s for the best."

Picking up the invitation, He Lianuo was about to leave but just as he reached the door, he turned his head and flashed a secretive smile at Lin Yuan: "There really aren’t many chefs in the world that can catch this Crown Prince’s eye. If Miss Lin has the capacity to love, this Crown Prince wouldn’t mind inviting you to Xiliang as the Crown Princess Consort!"

He provocatively glanced at Xia Zheng, the laughter in his voice taking on a more sinister tone: "Miss Lin must have seen that this Crown Prince is much wealthier than Second Young Master Xia. If you follow this Crown Prince, I guarantee you can count endless silver notes every day and enjoy endless delicacies!"

As soon as He Lianuo finished speaking, Su Tianrui, who hadn’t spoken until now, suddenly revealed a brilliant smile, and shouted in his heart, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
